26 Tandem – Shapes And Shadows

Founded by highly successful songwriter Les Reed in 1968, the Chapter One label had a five-year run before eventually succumbing to the law of diminishing chart returns. Despite scoring a handful of hits (step forward Gerry Monroe and, er, Leeds United F. C.), their most enduring releases have turned out to be a swathe of singles that met with little success at the time, but which are now in great demand amongst collectors of late 60s/early 70s UK psychedelic pop and associated genres. A few tracks have found their way onto unauthorised compilations over the last few years, but Shapes and Shadows ” taken from the masters, and with the full co-operation of Les Reed and Chapter One ” proudly assembles these recordings in one place for the first time.
